A NEW LIFE IN A NEW PLACE


The first time I write, while I am now in a completely different environment, a completely different climate, a completely different system of habits, and a completely different way of life. All what I used to do before has now ended. The free time I used to have, the late wake-up habit has vanished, tasting my Mom's food and having a cup of coffee with her in the morning has ended, smelling the fresh mountaineous breeze and touching the nature's beauty is postponed, watching my favorate series or programs is up-held, and my own car is now inaccessible.
Why all that...? Simply, I moved to Dubai.
Everything seems different except the presence of my fellow Lebanese. Huge buildings standing on the edges og the 40 meters wide highway, the 150 floors Burj Dubai is still climbing up, crains are spread all over the landscape as if an octopus is trying to take over the area, the humid-hot airflow ruling the neighborhoods, and resorts flashing far away in the horizons to invite nightlife seekers in. In a word its a desertous version of New York City.
Until a period of time, I will discover DNYC. I will dig it out and find where I can find places and people who are my type, whom I like to be with, to talk to, and to be-friend with. Until then, maybe I will start feel a sence of belinging to this piece of the world, with a slight different change, i.e. higher temperatures.
